What does everyone think of Petrolicious? It is one of my favorite automotive video/content site. However, I don't love the videos of the cars that are worth a ton of money (i.e, over $150K), unless a person has had it before it became super valuable. I like the videos they have done on the E30s, E28s, 914s, Datsun 2000 Roadsters, Saab 900 Turbo.

It's awesome. What's wrong with someone buying their dream worth over $150k?

Love it. The style of the videos are great. I am with you in that I prefer the videos of the quirky "attainable" cars over the the classics and exotics. However, keep in mind that the common thread is that the people featured in these videos love to DRIVE their cars, and not just look at them. I respect that, even though I envy the richer guys.

it is awesome. There is nothing wrong with the pricey ones...in fact they are unbelievablely inspiring and amazing. I just prefer the more obtainable cars.

agreed. The videos on the exotics are inspiring and I respect the owners because they drive them. Watching videos on the more quirky obtainabke ones are more fun to me

I like them. I think the ones I have seen show how each person really enjoys the cars and is just trying to keep them alive for the future. I have a 240Z so I love the two Z videos, the CA guy with the Robello motor and the British father son duo is great too. I like the episodes with small quirky cars too, I would love to have a small 60's Mazda Carol or something to take out for a spin and sit next to my Z.

Our cars and coffee, Marin, is a good one because we have older guys who drive the cars they work on, one guy has a Lancia touring coupe they only made 20 of I think and he drives it, I see him. I think Petrolicious should see this guy. The car has a crazy thermostat on the radiator, it opens and closes these little louvers to cover the radiator when its cold and open them when its hot. A part broke on it and he made a copy of the part to replace it, he is fun to talk to. Apparently he was a TV producer of some kind, I heard him say they worked on a pilot years ago and he saw the car and bought it.

They brought me these pictures, I can't complain. I've also seen 3 of the cars featured in the videos in real life including the silver 250TRC above

I love their videos, I kinda wish there was more to each video though. I either feel like they are too short or missing something I'd like to see. Like maybe more specs and history of the vehicle its self.

I like their videos, but I tend to avoid them. It really bothers me that they don't credit the people that made the video.
